You can put this solution on YOUR website! PROBLEM: 4y+2x-3+3x+8
Simplify the expression by grouping like terms together. First, start off with the y's. There aren't any y's to pair with 4y, so leave that alone.
Move to the next, the x's. 2x can be paired with its like-term 3x.
2x+3x=5x
Move to the next term, -3. Don't forget the negative sign in front of it! -3 can be paired with its like-term 8.
-3+8=5
Now that you have no more like-terms, rewrite the simplified expression.
ANSWER: 4y+5x+5
